Hahahaha. This is awesome.

I'm old enough that I remember seeing the JC Superstar film back in the 1970s, and have seen a number of bad local productions of the play (best seen while high). I'm also a big Muppets fan. This parody is hilarious.

For those of you under, oh, 30, this is probably lost on you. But for those of us over a certain age that are VERY familiar with the source material, this is fucking brilliant.

Things like this are what make the internet awesome. Thanks Internet! (And thanks Scary Tyler Moore for finding it.)

I didn't like it. Needs more Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson.

@2 - Sam the Eagle is obviously one of the Pharisees.

@2 - Or maybe one of the Romans. I don't know, it's been so long since I saw the movie, and I was drunk at the time. The point is the Muppets need to make a passion movie and Sam the Eagle is always the establishment.

Rowlf as John the Baptist, I think...

carl, yes, ted, no. his voice is too tight.

A muppets version of JCS should split Judas into two characters played by Statler and Waldorf, the two old balcony critics.

@8 - I don't know... the two old men who constantly criticize Kermit, demand that he prove himself and will never be happy with anything he says or does? All they're missing is the big black hats.

@5/6: Sam the Eagle is OBVIOUSLY Caiaphus. @8: No, they need Statler and Waldorf to be Kings Herod. "Kermit, why do you take so long? GET OUT OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!"

And my issue with this is not the concept but the poorly executed Muppet voices. They have decent Muppet voices, but can't SING in them.

How I would cast things:

Main characters
Judas: Fozzie (Fozzie and Kermit are best buddies, as is suggested the relationship between Jesus and Judas in this musical)
Jesus: Kermit (Duh. He's worshipped by others, in charge, but also somewhat overwhelmed by the attention)
Mary Magdalene: Miss Piggie (Loves Kermit, and "I Don't Know How to Love Him" is correct)

Apostles
Peter: Rizzo the Rat (Selfserving? What???)
Simon Zealotes: Dr. Teeth (Wants Kermit to take things up a notch)
Others: Electric Meyhem

Pharisees
Caiaphus: Sam the Eagle (Head of the establishment)
Annas: Swedish Chef (Who remembers Annas' lines anyways?)
Others: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew & Beeker

Pilate: Pepe the Prawn (Just hilarious)
King Herod: Statler & Waldorf (Basically trolls Jesus demanding a performance and then yelling at him for failing)

Just :)

listening to #9 (Superstar), lol @1:21

Amazing. Listening to Jesus Christ Superstar has always been an important part of Holy Week tradition in our fam.
